well,, just thought I would show a few pics to all that were interested in how easy it is to refinish that Satin finish on your blade.
as you can see in the first pic,,my SFNO has seen much abuse and have recieved many scratches and scars from last years camping/wilderness survival excursions and various other chores around the camp sites that most other knifemakers would only dream that their knife could perform
well,,I just thought that I would get her ready for this coming camping season by giving her a good refinishing and make her look like new again and hope she serves me just as well this second season.
and for all that dont know and all that have been doing it the hard way (elbow grease and sandpaper),, there is a much better, easier and quicker way.
as you can see by the pics below,,all you really need to do is go to your local wal-mart, Auto Zone, Advance Auto parts, ect. and buy one of the Light Rust Removal discs to go with your hand drill,, and thats all it it too it, I think I paid about 7 or 8 dollars for the one you see in the pic,,,but wal-mart has them even cheaper.
then all you have to do it brush the blade lengthwise in even/contineous passes down the length of the blade,, and that is all it it to it,, you will be amazed at how simple it really is.
you can defenitly see a diffrence in the first pic and the last, and it took less than five minutes to do it
and here is the finished Blade,,or may i say 'refinished
